Two days later, Yu Shizhong and others escorted a large number of prisoners back to Gobian.
As soon as he saw the generals and generals on the hill, Qin Qihu's social compulsion kicked in and he started bragging to them like crazy.
"You don't know that I held a big sword and killed my way from the Western Desert Corridor to the Royal Court, and then from the Royal Court to the northern barbarians. If it weren't for the indestructible sword, the blade would have been cut and bent long ago!"
"We frightened those Northern Huan cavalrymen, and they surrendered crying when they saw us..."
“Wahahaha…”
Qin Qihu boasted about their great achievements to the generals, both big and small, who stayed behind on the hill with spit flying. He almost said that he held two machetes and chopped all the way from Penglai East Road to Nantianmen.
Qin Qihu was so excited about boasting that he didn't notice the perfunctory smiles on the faces of these generals.
Qin Qihu didn't notice it, but Yu Shizhong did.
Looking at the forced smiles of the crowd, Yu Shizhong couldn't help but frown secretly.
What's going on?
...
...
Even if Qin Qihu was bragging, it was a fact that they returned with a great victory and brought back so many prisoners.
Logically speaking, everyone should be very happy!
Just when Yu Shizhong was secretly puzzled, Dugu Ce's personal soldiers suddenly trotted forward and said, "General Yu, General Qin, the deputy commander orders you to go and discuss matters as soon as possible!"
Meeting of business?
Hearing the words of the personal soldiers, several people were stunned.
They went to discuss matters as soon as they came back?
Not even a sip of water!
After a brief moment of distraction, several people quickly followed Dugu Ce's personal soldiers.
Soon, they saw Dugu Ce, who looked unhappy.
Looking at Dugu Ce's expression and thinking about the expressions of those people he had met before, Yu Shizhong suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Deputy Commander, what happened?"
Yu Shizhong asked Dugu Ce nervously.
Dugu Ce's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness was assassinated, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead!"
"What?"
As Dugu Ce finished speaking, everyone's faces changed color.
His Highness was assassinated?
Qin Qihu looked Dugu Ce up and down, "Deputy Commander, you are not kidding us, are you?"
Dugu Ce glared at Qin Qihu angrily, "Do you think I am in the mood to joke with you now? Do I dare to joke about this kind of thing?"
Seeing that Dugu Ce didn't look like he was joking, several people's eyes were suddenly filled with anger and their faces were cold.
Qin Qihu's murderous aura suddenly burst out, and he asked with a dark face: "Who did it? Prince?"
“I don’t know yet.”
Dugu Ce shook his head, and scanned the men with a stern gaze, and shouted, "I didn't call you here to discuss who sent someone to assassinate Your Highness! This is an extraordinary period, and a few generals in the army have been thrown into prison by me. Now the army is in a panic. You are all promoted by Your Highness, and you must shoulder the responsibility!"
"Thrown into jail?"
Yu Shizhong's pupils suddenly shrank, "Someone has bad intentions?"
"Not really!"
Dugu Ce shook his head, "Those generals have no bad intentions, but their positions are a little unsteady! In order to prevent any accidents in the army, I temporarily put them in jail!"
Not firm in stance?
Is there anyone who wants to mobilize the army and seek credit from the court?
We don't even know whether His Highness is dead or alive, and someone is trying to take credit for it so soon?
Yu Shizhong's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and he immediately asked, "What does the deputy commander need us to do?"
Dugu Ce didn't say anything more. He stood up suddenly and said sternly, "Qin Qihu, you must go to Dingbei immediately to confirm whether His Highness is safe!"
"Lu Xing, you must lead five thousand elite cavalrymen to Weibian as quickly as possible! Those generals who dare to make any unusual moves must be arrested immediately and thrown into jail!"
"Yu Shizhong, I order you to rush to Beilu Pass immediately. I am worried that some of the soldiers at Beilu Pass will get wind of this and ask the court for an explanation on behalf of His Highness. You must keep the soldiers at Beilu Pass steady. Before His Highness has any concrete news, no one at Beilu Pass may move without authorization! You must not clash with the imperial army!"
"Wang Qi, Huo Gu, you two will stay at the edge of the Gu and be responsible for inspecting the camps..."
Dugu Ce made arrangements quickly.
The people he used this time were basically the Mesozoic and new generation generals promoted by Yun Zheng.
These people have military merits and have a certain prestige in the army.
They were able to keep the troops of various departments under control.
The most important thing is that they should all be considered Yun Zheng’s direct descendants.
You should be a little more confident when using these people.
What they need to do now is to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent any chaos from occurring in the army.
As for other matters, let’s wait until we have a clear understanding of Yun Zheng’s situation!
Just as Dugu Ce gave the order, there was a sudden noise outside.
The faces of several people who heard the voice suddenly changed color.
Something's wrong?
After a brief moment of distraction, several people immediately walked out with cold faces.
Qin Qihu even took out all his precious swords.
At this time, whoever dares to incite the army will be merciless!
However, before they even walked out the door, they realized something was wrong.
That sounds like cheering?
Just as they were walking out in a hurry, Dugu Ce's personal guards ran in quickly and said excitedly, "Deputy Commander, His Highness and his men are here and have entered the city! All the soldiers in the city are running to welcome His Highness!"
The personal soldier's words stunned everyone for a moment.
Yun Zheng is here?
Wasn't he assassinated?
Doesn’t he know whether he is alive or dead?
Why did you suddenly come to the edge of the hill again?
After a brief moment of distraction, Qin Qihu and others rushed out first.
Looking at the backs of Qin Qihu and others, Dugu Ce suddenly felt sweaty.
He seemed to understand something!
Maybe, Yun Zheng was not assassinated at all!
At this moment, Dugu Ce was very glad of his choice.
Just by listening to the cheers outside, one can tell that Yun Zheng’s prestige in the Northern Palace Army is unmatched.
If he attempted to seize power, Yun Zheng would not even need to bring a single soldier with him. As long as he appeared outside the city, the soldiers of the Northern Army would probably tie him up and send him to Yun Zheng.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm his mind, Dugu Ce quickly walked out.
When Dugu Ce came outside, Yun Zheng, Shen Luoyan and others were surrounded by densely packed soldiers.
"My Lord, are you healed?"
"Who on earth wants to assassinate the prince? We must find this person and avenge the prince!"
""
Not to mention him, even Qin Qihu couldn't squeeze in.
Yun Zheng raised his hand to stop everyone.
In an instant, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and you could almost hear a pin drop.
Looking at this scene, Dugu Ce was even more shocked.
Just a gesture can silence so many people immediately!
With this kind of prestige and appeal, even if the emperor came, he would probably be inferior to him.
"Beihuan has surrendered! I should have celebrated the victory a long time ago, but because the army escorting the prisoners has not returned, I have not been able to celebrate the victory yet! Sorry for keeping you waiting!"
"Don't worry, let the soldiers who just returned rest for two days!"
"Two days later, the entire army will have a three-day banquet to reward everyone according to their merits..."
Yun Zheng spoke loudly along with everyone else.
As Yun Zheng finished speaking, cheers suddenly rang out across the valley...
